Essential Oil - Star Anise

Star Anise (Illicium verum) Star Anise 100% pure essential oil is known as a mild sedative and is valued for its soothing, relaxing properties. It is a useful oil to use in massage or vaporizers to achieve a comforting sense of calm.

Star anise is particularly beneficial to the digestive system, for the relief of symptoms such as hiccups, flatulence, stomach cramping, colic and indigestion. During steam inhalation, star anise oil is an effective expectorant so helps clear excess mucus from the airways and does much to soothe coughs and colds.

 In general massage or in compresses the oil will relieve muscle cramping and can also be used to treat joint and muscle stiffness and aches and pains.
